Kohli-Dhoni saga takes centrestage as RCB aim to seal playoffs spot in tie vs CSK
Gulf Today
|May 03, 2025
The enduring legacy of two Indian cricket icons - Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni - may be poised for one final chapter in Indian Premier League folklore as CSK's captain has hinted that his participation in next year's event would depend on his physical fitness
-
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is no stranger to high-voltage encounters. But when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 52 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Saturday, the contest could transcend the boundaries of qualification battles and team standings.
The enduring legacy of two Indian cricket icons — Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni — may be poised for one final chapter in Indian Premier League (IPL) folklore.
From an immediate perspective, RCB have a clear incentive: a win will take them to 16 points, nudging them ever closer to sealing a spot in the playoffs with three matches still in hand. For CSK, already ousted from the playoff race, the motivation lies in salvaging pride, avoiding the wooden spoon, and ending the season with a flourish.
But hovering above these stakes is the emotional and symbolic weight of the Kohli vs Dhoni narrative — perhaps for the last time on an IPL stage.
